The Problem and Our Solution

Overview

Antibiotics are medicines that either kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing. Most of the time, however, our body's immune system can kill them. Of course, there will always be a time when it becomes too much, and that is where antibiotics are useful. However, antibiotics are only useful against bacteria, and not viruses.

The Problem

Though antibiotics were originally made with the purpose of killing off bacteria, it has created a problem that we were not expecting; Antibiotic Resistance. They can be bought without a prescription, at any drugstore, at any time. Antibiotic Resistance has accelerated because of the misuse of Antibiotics, since they are easily accessible, and most people do not know about the lasting consequences of taking too many antibiotics.

Our Solution

We hope that by educating the public and giving classes and selling educational material, we will help spread awareness about antibiotics and their lasting consequences for bacteria and your bodies. We will be surveying our community and our peers to help find out what we need to focus on, and once our program goes live we will be surveying our community to find out how our program has helped. We thank you for supporting us in our efforts!
